Electrical Circuits and Signals

Catalog description

An introduction to electrical circuits and signals. Emphasizes the analysis and design of systems described by ordinary linear differential equations. The frequency domain is introduced early and stressed throughout. Other topics include circuit theorems, power transfer, transient analysis, Fourier series, Laplace transform, a brief intro to diodes and transistors, and a little control theory. There is a lecture on engineering ethics. Laboratories apply concepts to real problems in audio and controls. Lectures, recitation, and laboratory. Prerequisite: MATH 0180 or MATH 0200 , courses may be taken concurrent to ENGN 0520 .
